Servings: persons

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1-1 1/2 cups room temperature heavy cream
2 tablespoons bourbon (I use Jim Beam)
1 teaspoon ground mustard
2 tablespoons cajun seasonings
1 box of cavatappi pasta
1/4 cup bread crumbs
butter to grease pan
salt & pepper to taste
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup gouda cheese, shredded. (Smoked gouda works well, too)
1/2 cup Jarlesberg cheese, shredded
5 slices of prociutto

1
Cook pasta to al dente. Butter a large casserole dish. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake prociutto slices until crisp.
2
Make standard bechamel sauce: melt butter in heavy-bottomed sauce pan. Sift flour into butter and cook, stirring constantly until paste cooks. Whisk in 1 and 1/4 cup heavy cream and bring to a light boil. Simmer, stirring constantly.
3
Stir in bourbon, then ground mustard and Cajun seasonings. Add salt & pepper to taste.
4
Stir in cheeses in small batches, allowing each batch to melt before adding another. If needed, add more cream to achieve desired consistency.
5
Drain pasta. Add a single layer of pasta to casserole dish and pour 1/2 of the cheese sauce over. Add another layer of pasta, pour remaining cheese sauce over. Mix well. Sprinkle with bread crumbs. Bake uncovered for 8-10 minutes, just long enough to cook pasta through and mingle with sauce. Remove from over, and sprinkle with crushed prociutto. Serve immediately.
